Humphrey Kelleher
Former Dublin manager Humphrey Kelleher believes Anthony Daly’s men must do everything in their power to stop Kilkenny from scoring goals in Sunday’s Leinster hurling final. And if that means fouling, then so be it. “If you look back at the 2007 and 2008 finals, the tactics Kilkenny employ are very simple,” Kelleher said in the Irish Daily Star. “They get the ball in the half back line, the half backs and midfielders run at the opposing full back line and they get an overlap.

That doesn’t make one iota of difference but cutting five or six metres...
